Nebraska part of 32-state settlement with Lenovo

Nebraska will receive nearly $60,000 in a 32-state settlement with Lenovo of North Carolina to settle allegations the company installed computer software on laptops which would make the personal information of consumers vulnerable to hackers.

Lenovo began selling computers in 2014 with pre-installed ad software called VisualDiscovery, created by Superfish. A complaint filed by the states alleged the software could gain access to all of a user’s personal information, including financial information.
